We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff. Your whole body feels tight. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck. That is why we use phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.
One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands—often at the wrong time—during a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.
Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and play begins. They come hurrying down to your row of seats. You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck.”
Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they go for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.
Then, there is the main sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.
We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.
We also call such a person a “rubberneck”, always putting out his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy invading your privacy. People have a strong dislike for rubbernecks. They hate being spied upon.
1.Where can you find this passage?

C. Social science books. D. Students text books.
2.How do you feel when late comers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?
A. Disturbed. B. Ignored. C. Bored. D. Relaxed.
3.A “rubberneck” often .
A. says bad words behind people
B. quarrels face to face with neighbors
C. bargains the price with sales women
D. asks about other people’s business
4.Which of the follow is “a pain in the neck”?
A. Someone who helps you find your seat in a movie theatre.
B. Someone who smokes in a smoking section on a train.
C. Someone who throws trash out of his car window on the highway.
D. Someone who goes to the doctor for his severe pain on the neck.

Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (陽剛), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to(符合、順應(yīng)) a stereotype（老套）, a US study says.
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.
The findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.
Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.
The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.
But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys’ learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.
Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learned best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern genre (類型) in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote.
Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge” in relationships. “ In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means.” the study reported.
1.The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ .
A．force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men"
B．help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys
C．naturally strengthen the traditional image of a man in boys
D．encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
2.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ .
A．behave more responsibly
B．grow up more healthily
C．perform relatively better
D．receive a better education
3.What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A．It fails more boys than girls academically.
B．It focuses more on mixed school education.
C．It places more pressure on boys than on girls.
D．It fails to give boys the attention they need.
4.According to Abigail James, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.
A．boys can focus on their lessons without being disturbed
B．teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boys
C．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D．teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
5.According to Abigail James’ report, it can be inferred that boys tend to _____________________.
A．have sharper vision.
B．conform to stereotypes.
C．enjoy being in charge.
D．be violent and sexist.

The Winter Olympics proved no match for television's gold-medal winner, "American Idol". Fox's unbelievable successful contest crashed the Olympics in head-to-head competition on Tuesday night, 27 million viewers to 16.1 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The Olympics recovered a bit after "Idol" went off the air, but its overall audience of 18.6 million was the least-watched winter Olympics telecast since Nagano's closing ceremonies in 1998, Nielsen said.
Since its opening on Friday, the Turin games have been running well below the 2002 Salt Lake City games in viewership interest. Much of that was expected, but Tuesday's rating was the first alarming sign for NBC that increased TV competition has taken a toll.
"The competition from 'Idol' is heavier than the Olympics has ever seen," said NBC Sports spokeswoman Alana Russo.
It doesn't figure to get any easier, with "Idol" and ABC's "Lost" on the air Wednesday. CBS' "Survivor" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" offer more competition on Thursday.
Even figure skating, the most popular winter Olympics sport for viewers, didn't help much on Tuesday. NBC filled about two-thirds of the hour during which it competed with "American Idol" with tape of the men's figure-skating competition.
Through five nights of Olympics coverage, NBC's average prime time rating is 12.7 ( a rating point represents 1,102, 000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 110.2 million TV homes). NBC said before the games started that it had promised its advertisers a rating of between 12 and 14. If it slips below that, NBC will have to make it up to advertisers with free commercial time.
" ‘American Idol' is clearly a phenomenon," said Randy Falco, president of the NBC Universal Television Group. "But we expected it and are tracking fight where we planned to be at this point." Between NBC and its networks, about 65 percent of the nation's television homes have tuned in at least some of the games.
1.How many viewers watched the Winter Olympics on Tuesday night?
|
A．110.2 million |
B．12.7 million |
|
C．27million |

2.What did NBC do on Tuesday night to attract more viewers?

A．To ask the "idol" to go off the air. |
|
B．To play the tapes of men's figure skating. |
|
C．To add "Survivor" to its program. |
|
D．To do more advertising. |
3.If the rating slips below 12, NBC will .
|
A．do more advertising for nothing |
|
B．stop running normally |
|
C．never cover the Olympics |
|
D．pay extra money for advertisers |
4.What does the underlined word "taken a toll" mean?

How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation(通貨膨脹)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate．Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market (股市)．Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past．Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique (古董) clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques．
I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life．“ The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound．It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands．Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people’s wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control．This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves.”
Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time．Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts．They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time．So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time．They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun．They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks．Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home．After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit ?
1.According to the passage, collecting antique clocks___________.
A．can hardly keep the value of your savings
B．will cost much of your savings
C．may increase your wealth

2.By quoting (引用) the remark (話) of a being from another planet, the author intends to ________________.

D．compare clocks to human beings
3.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time ?
A．Counting the beating of one’s own heart.
B．Making use of candles, sand and water.
C．Observing shadows cast by the sun.
D．Keeping all the slaves busy day and night.
4.The underlined phrase stately homes in paragraph 4 means ____.
A．state-owned houses B．houses in very good condition
C．grand houses open to the public D．houses where statesmen meet regularly
5.The purpose of the passage is ________________.
A．to introduce the culture of antique clocks
B．to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks
C．to compare different ways to make a future profit
D．to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling time
